If the reporter saw that same stats then we can't blame him, right? I
remember replying to a similar inq7.net article a few years ago but
all i got was an invitation to join Phil Honeynet  ;-)

I don't mind reading the same from a blogger as long as he/she can
point me to his/her sources and/or disclose his/her sponsors (` catch
my drift?), and I don't think we should group the defacement by OS
alone especially when there are a lot of possible points of entry i.e.
web server, web apps (bulletin board, blog, etc), or through an
incompetent developer (unfiltered POST vars, etc[1] ).
